Whenever I view the combat report for a dwarf caught in the dust from a cave-in, it always says "Urist McMiner is caught in a cloud of boiling magma", even if the cave-in takes place nowhere near magma. The dust also leaves no trace of this "boiling magma", and the dwarf suffers no injuries whatsoever. Does this happen to anyone else? [[User:GibMoniPls|GibMoniPls]] 00:29, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

==Natural floors==
 
If a cave-in occurs above a natural floor with no wall underneath, there seems to be a chance of the cave-in falling through the floor, destroying it.  Has this happened to anyone else?  (for the record,  I was chopping off an overhang above my fortress entrance so I could replace it with a copper umbrella.  The overhang fell, as expected, and punched a few holes in the ground clean through to my farms, which were just below the surface.  One even went through the farm's floor, too, ending up with a hole all the way into my booze factory, two z-levels below the surface.  No holes were made over the walls dividing my farms)  I shall perform some SCIENCE tonight and update accordingly.

"boiling magma"

Whenever I view the combat report for a dwarf caught in the dust from a cave-in, it always says "Urist McMiner is caught in a cloud of boiling magma", even if the cave-in takes place nowhere near magma. The dust also leaves no trace of this "boiling magma", and the dwarf suffers no injuries whatsoever. Does this happen to anyone else? GibMoniPls 00:29, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
